Why Credit Repair Counseling Is Losing Credibility
Summary
Legitimate credit repair services are losing credibility due to some unethical companies misleading customers who trust them for credit improvement.
---
Many believe you can repair your credit independently without a credit repair service. The genuine way to enhance your credit score is by improving your debt-to-income ratio and consistently paying your bills on time. Professional services aren't necessary to achieve this.
Often, credit repair counseling services offer debt reduction, which can harm your credit. By paying less than the agreed monthly amount, your payments may be reported as 30 days late repeatedly.
A common strategy used by these services is to send letters to the three credit reporting agencies, claiming inaccuracies in your report and demanding removal. The agencies must temporarily remove this information for investigation, during which your credit score may appear improved. The service will then charge you, but once the investigation concludes, any accurate negative information returns to your report, leaving you in the same situation.
Some credit repair agencies genuinely help by correcting errors such as removing incorrect information, rectifying paid-off items still showing as past due, and eliminating duplicate listings or clarifying items incorrectly attributed to you or your children.
Ultimately, legitimate credit repair agencies can only do so much. They cannot remove accurate negative items, which remain on your report for up to seven years or longer.
The best approach is handling your credit issues personally. You have the right to dispute incorrect information and are best positioned to verify the accuracy of your credit report.
